Blue Protocol Star Resonance Lumber Guide: Locations & Uses

In *Blue Protocol: Star Resonance*, **lumber** is a foundational crafting resource, yet its acquisition method often puzzles players. Here’s a breakdown of its sources, types, and uses:

Acquiring Lumber

  • Most lumber is purchased from the Artisanry Exchange, a vendor offering processed wood for crafting and construction.
  • Check the **Materials tab** in your inventory, select any lumber item, and click “How to Obtain” to view its source (currently limited to vendors or future gathering areas).

Pine Lumber: Early-Game Essential

This basic wood is crucial for early recipes but *cannot be gathered via Life Skills*. Purchase it exclusively with **Luno** at the Artisanry Exchange. Stockpile Pine Lumber early to avoid shortages during upgrades or guild tasks.

Lumber Varieties and Uses

  • White Oak Lumber

    Rarest type, likely for endgame crafting.

  • Walnut Lumber

    High-quality material for advanced housing.

  • Birch Lumber

    Premium designs require this rare wood.

  • Beech Lumber

    Used for decorative crafting.

  • Oak Lumber

    Mid-tier crafting staple.

  • Pine Lumber

    Common option from the Exchange.

All lumber types undergo processes like planing and polishing, hinting at deeper crafting systems in future updates.

Crafting and Life Skills

Lumber is combined with metals or fibers to create tools, furniture, and construction components. While **Pine Lumber** dominates current recipes, rarer types like Birch and White Oak will likely become farmable once housing launches.

Resource Management Tips

  • Sell excess low-tier lumber to maintain Luno reserves.
  • Prioritize Pine Lumber purchases early on.
  • Hoard rare lumber for upcoming housing mechanics.
  • Always verify sources via the “How to Obtain” menu.
